The '''Rockdawgs''' are an elite team of athletes, mainly involved in the sport of drinking.  However, the '''Rockdawgs''' delve into other sports, notably co-ed 3-pitch [[baseball]], and both mens and womens [[hockey]] teams.  Currently, the team is looking into movie deals as well as some major sponsorship deals as they continue to party it up.

Currently, the '''Rockdawgs''' organization is headquartered in Guelph, Ontario.  The owners call themselves members of '''Failurehouse''', which is the name of the head office and training grounds.  '''Failurehouse''' stems its name from one of the founding member's mothers, who shall remain nameless.  A note was written regarding the head office, and as it turns out, hilarity ensued.  To amend her self-proclaimed ''wrongs'', an I'm Sorry cake was delivered to '''Failurehouse''' and consumed in record time.

The '''Rockdawg''' men's hockey team was formally established in January 2007, but planning began weeks prior to this date.  At some unknown point in time, the 4 founding fathers, namely '''Earl''', '''Eddie''', '''Pirate''', and '''Timmer''' were sitting around drinking and happened upon the notion of founding the world's greatest hockey team.  The '''Rockdawgs''' became formally registered to the [[University of Guelph]] Athletics Intramural program around this same date.  The first season was relatively successful, with the '''Rockdawgs''' achieving their first ever win.  Jerseys were obtained later in the year, and were not available for the winning game.  Despite their losing record, the men's team made it to the first round of playoffs and suffered a heart-breaking loss, ending their post-season dreams.

The '''Rockdawg''' women's team came about in the fall semester of 2007, after seeing the success of the men's team.  The women have shown their prowess isn't just in looks, they can play hockey as well, getting all the way to the first round of playoffs in their initial season as well, only to be swept in a one-game series that was quite heartbreaking.

'''Rockdawgs''' are involved in other sports, although hockey is centre of concentration.  3-pitch softball is an area of importance in the late summer months for the '''Rockdawgs'''.  On-field success has been limited for the co-ed team, although moral victories again play an important role in the spirit of the team.  Estimates put the official records at a 0-15-1 record, with the tie coming in the franchise's opening game.  The moral record is much closer to 1.000, standing at about 15-1. Rockdawgs generally practice in the park down the road from '''Failurehouse''', and have a hoot with softball as well.

The College Royal duck show is a popular spectator event for the Rockdawgs, as two members compete annually.  '''Earl''' and '''Euphemia''' are consistent competitors, and don't go down without a fight in this exciting event.  Their hard work finally payed off when they won the prestigious Reserve Champion ribbons for their showing of George Fernwell.<ref>[http://www.collegeroyal.uoguelph.ca/event-winners_cr2009.shtml CR Award Winners, 2009]</ref>

College Royal also gave several of the girls, notably '''Debbo''', '''Bailey''', '''Wendy''', and '''Kim''' a chance to compete in the uber-competitive pancake flip competition.  The Rocky Road Rockdawg pancakes were flying out of the pans and Judge Walton agreed enough to award the hard-working girls a 3rd place ribbon.

This is where the '''Rockdawgs''' truly shine.  With its beginnings long before the advent of the hockey team, the '''Rockdawgs''' have chosen to remain faithful to the challenges and victories that drinking brings along with it.  '''Rockdawgs''' are known in Guelph for their abilities at competitive drinking games, especially in [[flip cup]], [[beer pong]], [[thumper]], as well as general mass consumption.

'''Rockdawgs''' are quite prominent at drinking events, especially at keggers, bars, and pubs such as Squirrel Tooth Alice's across the road from '''Failurehouse'''.  It is not uncommon to walk into Squirrels and see one or more '''Rockdawgs''' engaging in some sort of drunken activity.

No matter what happens with the sports side of Rockdawgs, the most important sport, drinking, will long continue into the future lives of these outstanding and heroic individuals.
